Sophie Hannah Sixteen year old Shelley and her mother move to
Honeysuckle cottage in the middle of the countryside, fleeing their

women flourish. But one night, their fragile peace is shattered
when Shelley wakes to hear a creak on the stairs. Someone has
broken into the house ...In the shocking, chilling events that
follow, Shelley's world is turned on its head, as the women find
themselves tested as never before. And as their lives spiral out of
control, the tension reaches fever pitch, and Shelley begins to

they? 'Truly remarkable ...Mice is a book many will without

'Best book ever!' - 5-star reader review Theodore Boone, young
lawyer, has had a lot to deal with in his thirteen years,
everything from kidnapping to murder. But he's come through it all
and, with the law on his side, justice has always prevailed.
Sometimes, though, the law doesn't seem so just. His friend Hardie
Quinn is about to have his family home bulldozed to make way for a
bypass. Hardie is not the only one affected: other homes,
businesses and schools lie in the path of the road. Theo has to
tell his friend the bad news: for once, the law isn't on his side,
and there's very little anyone can do to end the destruction. Theo
joins the campaign to stop the road. But when he stumbles on a
terrible secret about the corrupt men behind the plan - a secret it
is illegal for him to know - Theo must figure out how to keep the
developers from breaking the law . . . without breaking it himself.

It's summer. Rebecca is an unwilling visitor to Winterfold - taken
from the buzz of London and her friends and what she thinks is the
start of a promising romance. Ferelith already lives in Winterfold
- it's a place that doesn't like to let you go, and she knows it
inside out - the beach, the crumbling cliff paths, the village
streets, the woods, the deserted churches and ruined graveyards,
year by year being swallowed by the sea. Against her better
judgement, Rebecca and Ferelith become friends, and during that
long, hot, claustrophobic summer they discover more about each
other and about Winterfold than either of them really want to,
uncovering frightening secrets that would be best left long
forgotten. Interwoven with Rebecca and Ferelith's stories is that
of the seventeenth century Rector and Dr Barrieux, master of
Winterfold Hall, whose bizarre and bloody experiments into the
after-life might make angels weep, and the devil crow.

When Mariella Morse accuses her boyfriend, Vik Gomez, of murdering her
wealthy parents with an axe, the town is quick to believe her. It

a gruesome crime. Haunted by the mistakes she made that led her family
to move to Fall River, MA in the first place, she sets out to prove her
brother's innocence.
Tessa's search for answers will lead her into a sprawling, notoriously
cursed forest, where she and Mariella must face a darkness that has
lurked within their town since before the days of Lizzie Borden--the
original axe murderess of Fall River.

I Don't Want to Kill You is the third darkly comic novel in the
John Wayne Carver series by Dan Wells, the first of which - I Am
Not a Serial Killer - is now a major motion picture.
Sixteen-year-old John Wayne Cleaver has always known he's
different, but not because he only has one friend (and doesn't much
like him) and not because he regularly helps out in his mother's
mortuary. He's different because he recognizes the classic signs of
an incipient serial killer in his own personality, and he's created
a rigid set of rules to follow to keep his darker nature, the one
he calls Mr Monster in check. But John discovers it's the
personality traits he so fears that put him in the best position to
save the people of his town from a series of horrific and
disturbing killers...

she's spent years building around her. Secrets leave scars. But
when the secret in question is not your own-do you ignore the truth
and walk away? Or do you uncover it from its shallow grave and let
it reopen old wounds-wounds that have finally begun to heal?
